A bad idea written down is far better and far more useful to you than a blank sheet of paper and a mythical piece of brilliance that has been stuck in your head out of fear of failure. Go ahead and fail. Then make it better.

My screenwriting prof.

I felt like a lot of people needed to hear this. Including myself.

About 5,500 words so far for Nano–slowing down a bit, but I have the whole thing outlined now! …and it looks like two near novel-length fics of around the same timeline just from two equally important different POVs… and this is just for part one (of two or three) of what actually happens… yay!!

okay, folks, it’s official: I’m tackling NaNoWriMo this year. That means two things:
1) I’m gonna be posting my word count updates on my blog every day. You’ve been warned.
2) I’d really love it if any of you interact with me about it. If any of you are also doing NaNo and want to talk/brag/bitch about it, let me know! Writing buddies are great.

Day 1: 2198 words!

Mantra of the day: It doesn’t need to be good, it just needs to get done.

I’m doing nano too! So far, I have storybuilding notes, which I count as writing because it’s legit!  So, 1428 at the moment, but I also have another hour and a quarter! Off to write now!

And you are off to a GREAT start.

Nano friends! 😀 I am at 2,953 so far! I am not sure I like much of it so far, but that’s what editing later is for!
